Alicia Vikander is officially set to star in a follow-up to director Roar Uthaug’s Tomb Raider adaptation from last year according to Mike Fleming Jr. at Deadline. Free Fire and High Rise scribe Amy Jump will pen the script with Graham King’s GK Films (Bohemian Rhapsody) back on board to produce with Elizabeth Cantillon also producing.
Uthaug’s Tomb Raider, penned Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Alastair Siddons and which grossed over $274 million dollars at the box office for Warner Bros., took years to develop after GK Films acquired the rights in 2011. Angelina Jolie originally played the title role of Lara Croft based on the Core Design game character launched in 1996 for Eidos Interactive prior to Square Enix as of 2010.
